An astronaut is said to be weightless when they travel in the satellite. What does this mean?

Physics

Dovator [93]3 years ago

Answer:

The sense of weightlessness in orbiting satellite is because of the lack of any contact-forces. The only force that acts upon humans in space is the force of gravity, which acts at a distance; but as there is no counter-force, we do not experience the sensation of weight over there.

A student walks the hallway for 25 m stops to talk and continues down the hallway another 10 m what is the distance and displace
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Distance = displacement = 35m

Explanation:

The distance of the student is how far he has gone.

Distance = 25m + 10m

Distance = 35m

Displacement is the distance specified in specific direction. Since the student walk in the sane direction, thence the displacement is also 35m

 Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.
 
 For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

1).  The little projectile is affected by friction all the way through the block.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.

2).  The block is affected by friction as it scrapes along the top of the post.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.

3).  The block is also affected by friction with the air (air resistance) as it
falls to the ground.  Friction robs some kinetic energy.
